On New Year's day, students and staff of K J Somaiya Institute of Technology witnessed the launch of a four-stage Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) from Sriharikota. The rocket's fourth stage, called POEM, carried the satellite 'Somaiya BeliefSat-0', designed and developed by the students and faculty of the institute. This satellite, weighing 440 grams, aims to provide global communication for ham operators and fill the gap left by India's decommissioned hamsat in 2014. The project, started in 2018, promotes student curiosity and engagement in radio frequency communication and space technology.from India News | Latest India News Headlines & Live Updates from India - Times of India https://ift.tt/mX4GqFb
